Has this just moved?????

Does anybody think that the starlights might make a rabbit bolt easier in daytime? There could be nothing stranger than a green, blue or red light trundling down a tube towards them. Just thinking outside the box!

I know we all dont want to, But when it happens, a good blade is priceless, and takes some time to get worked in! These look like a good starting point, especially with the fiber-shaft. Is it wrong to ask for a spade for xmas? http://www.screwfix.com/p/spear-jackson-polyfibre-shovel/27322

The mark 1 every day of the week, and i would pay a decent price for a new one as well. Also you can leave the batteries in the mk1 8ft collars screwed up taped up, good quality one's will last the best part of 3 months.

Out again today, me the old feller, only one runner Jed (Robbie left at home to recover a bit more from Fridays mishap.) and the two Jills, B,stard and Eyeball. Took forever to get going due to talking, took forever to get to the rabbits watching the runner get worked over the same bit of ground with no rabbits on it, and when we did get amongst them, it was dig dig and bloody dig. And after that, it was backfill, backfill, backfill the dig holes left wide open from either the poachers, or one of the other slack teams that come on the land. ( Beggining to think it was another team that have p

SSG for sure!

You done some milage on foot there Ideation, the new hillside looks a great bit of land.

Great photo's, and nice to read, thanks for posting it.

Nice one FV, and like Mick said, like the hob, tidy size and shape.

I knew it was a bit drawn out as it took me ages to write it up! A few more piccies could have cut it in half!
-
Yep dog was ok real lucky, did the stoat get away?
-
Seen a good few stoat attacks over the years, but heard many,many more, they just seem to be playing with the rabbits, not engaging fully like a ferret does, but its rough play, thats drawn out over some time, nasty little buggers.

Hi chaps, over the last 5 weeks, we have steadily been workng through some large warrens on some very steep slopes, its been good results, but after finishing off the last of the sets on Wednesday, it felt like rabbiting had become work rather than play, and physically yesterday and today i felt burned out. Luckily the old feller felt the same way, so today we hit some easy ground on relatively flat ground, (probs still hilly to most, but not the 45 degrees we have been on of late.) Me the old feller, the 2 runners and the same two jills. set off with and easy day in mind, and left the nets

Caught a lot of local rabbits as a kid netting up the back of bolt holes in the drystone walls surrounding an old quarry on my mates farm, used to be fun creeping around behind the walls, and then running them in after everything was set with the farms russel. I even netted the russel once! poor little bugger. -
Rainbow trout see's them doing fine! When i was a kid, i used to work on a trout fishery, and kept a good few ferrets there. I used to let them out to run loose around the place, they rarely wandered far, and sometimes surprised the anglers by dragging there catch away behind them whilst there backs were turned!

Mint! Love the sign, that says it all!
-
They dont do it on purpose, the walls are in a dire state, but climbing over them at night in the wrong spots see's them tumble with ease, even by day i've caused myself a few rebuilds over the years by choosing the wrong spot to climb over, eats into rabbiting time! No walls to put up tmoz though!

Nice job, and liking the padlock!

A few years ago Sirius, it was all fast paced, bolting to dogs, on the high ground, not a net in sight and bloody big bags, mainly by the dogs and the spade, a few years on and we have had to adapt, bleeding slow, but still rabbiting.
-
Pies were at the motor on the first trip down, home on the second! And the stones throw is over the hill! Yes ive turned into a pussy! Its still funny though to see an albino ferret pop its head up through the shale Tomo, try poking your spade down there first, its amazing how it moves when a corpse is underneath it!

Like you're idea of conservation Andy If you hold back you'll be getting accused of racism! Poaching always has, and always will go on. But at some point, one rabbiter is going to get a bit more hacked off than another when he's got out of the wrong side of the bed. Asking who you have permission off at that point wont even come into it.

Will do DM, will probs stop mid feb, around the time the bunnys are paired up and starting to cherry!

Rabbits are a fragile animal TP, most folks dont understand they need a little respect, around breeding time especially. They may be a pest, but hammering them at all times of year is no way of protecting the sport we are interested in. When the rabbit was first introduced to the uk centuries ago, they were looked after, the monks even built warrens for them in soil mounds to get them established! Starting to think the last bastion of the rabbit is on estates, with keepers looking after them, only on these places do they flourish without threat nowadays.

Hi chaps, been far too long since i was last out 10 days ago, working every day since then in the closing stages of a contract, (sooner we get off site the better, need at least 3 days a week rabbiting!) Same again, me and the old feller, the two runners Jed and Robbie, and the two 4 yr old albino jills B'stard and Eyeball following up on the same ground again. First job, was putting a wall back up that the poaching lads had felled the day before our last visit. Unfortunateley, it was 50 yrds away from where we have been parking for the last month, all fingers would point to us, so squared i

Must admit lads, the 30 i keep taking back up the dales every weekend out of my freezer are getting really scabby with the re-freezing, lets face it, they have done well from 2009!
